摘要
Using a sample of monthly observations of both a 12-category group and a 203-category group of personal consumption expenditures, we furnish evidence that relative price variability is positively related to both the inflation rate and inflation variability. The relation is robust to oil-price shocks. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
